Isiyo na kifani katika upatanifu, ukubwa na utulivu. Hii ni fursa adimu ya kumiliki nyumba ya kiwango cha mkusanyaji, inayosawazisha kikamilifu ustadi wa usanifu na uzuri wa asili katika mojawapo ya vitongoji vya New York City vyenye uhai na ukuaji mkubwa zaidi.

Makazi ya 3A katika Jardim ni kielelezo kamili cha usanifu wa Isay Weinfeld: yenye kujizuia, iliyopangiliwa kwa uwiano kamili na iliyounganishwa kwa kina na mandhari. Nyumba hii yenye ukubwa wa futi za mraba 2,218 na vyumba vitatu vya kulala imepangwa kama makazi yanayochukua sakafu nzima, yenye dari zenye urefu wa futi 10, jumba refu la kuingilia na ukubwa wa kipekee katika kila sehemu. Sebule kuu ndiyo kitovu cha nyumba, ikiwa na ukuta wake wote wa nje ulioundwa kwa vioo vinavyoteleza kutoka sakafuni hadi darini. Vioo hivyo hufunguka katika upana wote wa chumba na kuongeza futi za mraba 68 za nafasi ya nje, inayoungana moja kwa moja na bustani kuu zilizokomaa na mwavuli wa miti wa Jardim.

Mambo ya ndani yanaonyesha matumizi ya Weinfeld ya vifaa vya joto na vya asili, pamoja na umakini wa hali ya juu kwa kila undani. Sakafu za mwaloni za Oscar Ono zenye upana wa inchi saba zimewekwa katika nyumba nzima, zikikamilishwa na paneli maalum za mwaloni, milango ya Italia iliyoagizwa kutoka nje na vifaa vya Valli & Valli. Jikoni la Molteni limeunganishwa kwa utulivu katika usanifu, likiwa na vifaa vya Gaggenau, sehemu za kazi za chuma cha pua, samani za mwaloni na kaunta pana ya kifungua kinywa. Ukubwa wa sebule kuu, pamoja na ukuta wa vioo unaoweza kufunguliwa kikamilifu, huunda uhusiano wa kipekee na mtiririko laini kati ya ndani, terasa na bustani.

Chumba kikuu cha kulala kina dirisha lenye mimea, eneo la kubadilishia nguo la kuingia ndani na bafu pana lililojengwa kwa mawe na mwaloni, lenye sinki mbili na chumba tofauti cha kuogea. Vyumba viwili vya ziada vya kulala vina bafu zake za ndani zilizofunikwa kwa marumaru; kimoja kina dirisha lake kubwa lenye mimea. Nafasi ndefu ya hifadhi iliyofichwa, mashine ya kufua na kukausha nguo, pamoja na chumba cha choo cha wageni kilichokamilishwa kwa ustadi, vinakamilisha mpangilio. Makazi haya yanatofautishwa si kwa ishara za kujionyesha, bali kwa uwiano wake, mwendelezo wa vifaa na usahihi tulivu wa maelezo yake.

Jardim ni mojawapo ya majengo machache ya makazi yaliyokamilishwa kikamilifu na Weinfeld nje ya Brazil na Monaco. Minara yake miwili isiyo na majivuno imewekwa ndani ya bustani binafsi zenye tabaka mbalimbali, na hufikiwa kupitia njia ya kuvutia yenye dari ya matofali iliyopinda. Njia hiyo inajumuisha handaki binafsi na lisiloonekana sana linalopita katikati ya jengo, lililoundwa kuwawezesha wakazi kuingia na kutoka wakiwa wamefichika wasionekane kutoka barabarani—kiwango adimu cha faragha huko Manhattan na mojawapo ya sifa kuu za jengo hili. Huduma za jengo ni pamoja na bwawa lenye urefu wa futi 60 na mwanga wa angani, kituo cha mazoezi na studio ya harakati, sauna na vyumba vya mvuke, chumba cha matibabu, sebule ya wakazi, chumba cha michezo cha watoto, hifadhi binafsi, hifadhi ya baiskeli na maegesho binafsi yaliyotengwa kwenye eneo la jengo.

The High Line, Hudson Yards na maghala mengi ya sanaa ya kisasa yanayoongoza duniani yako karibu mara moja. Bw. Weinfeld amebuni majengo machache tu ya makazi binafsi yaliyotekelezwa kikamilifu duniani kote, na sasa huko New York; vinginevyo, huchagua kwa umakini miradi michache ya nyumba binafsi za familia moja katika maeneo ya kipekee.

“Weinfeld hubuni aina ya makazi ya ndoto ambayo haiwezekani kuyapinga—kwa magazeti ya mitindo na pia kwa wasanifu wengine, wanaovutiwa na uhuru wake pamoja na ubunifu wake wa anga na maumbo unaoonekana kutokuwa na kikomo.”

Unmatched in harmony, scale and serenity. This is a rare opportunity to own a collector-level home that perfectly balances architectural sophistication with organic, natural beauty in one of New York City's most vibrant and growing neighborhoods.

Residence 3A at Jardim is a particularly complete expression of Isay Weinfeld's architecture: restrained, perfectly scaled and deeply connected to landscape. The 2,218-square-foot, three-bedroom home is organized as a floor-through residence with 10-foot ceilings, a long entrance gallery and unusually generous scale throughout. The great room is the defining space, with its entire exterior wall, formed by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels, opening across the full width of the room and extending an additional 68 square feet of outdoor space directly in Jardim's mature central gardens and tree canopy.

The interiors reflect Weinfeld's characteristic use of warm, natural materials and exacting detail. Seven-inch Oscar Ono wide-plank oak floors run throughout, joined by custom oak paneling, imported Italian doors and Valli & Valli hardware. The Molteni kitchen is integrated quietly into the architecture, with Gaggenau appliances, stainless-steel work surfaces, oak millwork and a generous breakfast counter. The scale of the great room, together with the fully operable glass wall, creates an unusually fluid relationship in between interior, terrace and garden.

The primary suite includes a planted window, walk-in dressing area and a substantial stone-and-oak bath with double vanity and separate wet room. Two additional bedrooms each have marble-clad en-suite baths, one with its own large planted window . A long run of concealed storage, washer and dryer, and a beautifully resolved powder room complete the plan. The residence is distinguished less by overt gesture than by proportion, material consistency and the calm precision of its detailing.

Jardim is one of the few fully realized residential buildings by Weinfeld outside Brazil and Monaco. It's two understated towers are set within layered private gardens and approached through a dramatic vaulted brick passage, including a private, discreet, block-through arrival tunnel designed to allow residents to enter and leave shielded from street view - a rare level of privacy in Manhattan and one of the building's defining features. Amenities include a 60-foot skylit pool, fitness center and movement studio, sauna and steam rooms, treatment room, residents' lounge, children's play room, private storage, bicycle storage and deeded on-site parking.

The High Line, Hudson Yards and many of the world's leading contemporary art galleries are immediately nearby. Mr. Weinfeld has created only a handful of fully executed private residential buildings throughout the world and now New York, otherwise he commissions discerningly for limited, private single family homes in exclusive locations.

"Weinfeld designs the kind of dream residences that prove irresistible, both to style magazines and to other architects, who envy their freedom and their seemingly endless spatial and formal invention."
